Pink Energy (Power Home Solar) Bankruptcy — What Customers Can Do (2026)

Quick answer

Pink Energy (formerly Power Home Solar) filed for bankruptcy in October 2022 after facing multiple state attorney general investigations for fraud. Pink Energy customers are left with broken or underperforming solar systems, unpaid warranty claims, and no direct recourse from the company. However, customers may have claims against their solar lender (GoodLeap, Mosaic) for undisclosed dealer fees, against the equipment manufacturer's warranty, and against state guaranty funds in some states.

Pink Energy — which operated as Power Home Solar until a 2022 rebranding — filed for bankruptcy protection in October 2022, leaving thousands of homeowners across North Carolina, South Carolina, Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, and other states with solar systems that aren't working properly and no company to call. The company faced attorney general investigations in multiple states for fraud and deceptive practices before its collapse. Here's the full picture of what Pink Energy customers can still do.

What Happened to Pink Energy

Pink Energy/Power Home Solar grew rapidly between 2017 and 2022, installing thousands of systems across the Midwest and Southeast. The company used aggressive door-to-door sales tactics and made specific promises about system performance that frequently didn't materialize. Multiple state AGs — including North Carolina and Ohio — launched investigations into the company's sales practices. Pink Energy filed for Chapter 7 liquidation bankruptcy in October 2022, meaning it's not reorganizing — it's shutting down entirely and liquidating its assets.

Chapter 7 means there's no reorganization plan and no ongoing operations. Customers with claims become unsecured creditors and typically receive pennies on the dollar, if anything, from whatever assets remain after secured creditors are paid. For most Pink Energy customers, direct recovery from the bankruptcy estate is unlikely to be significant.

What Pink Energy Customers Can Still Do

1. Equipment manufacturer warranties: If your Pink Energy system used panels from LG, Silfab, REC, or inverters from Enphase or SMA, those manufacturers' warranties may still be valid regardless of Pink Energy's bankruptcy. Contact the equipment manufacturer directly with your system documentation. 2. GoodLeap loan claims: Many Pink Energy customers financed through GoodLeap. If your loan included undisclosed dealer fees, you may have claims against GoodLeap directly — the lender's disclosure obligations are independent of Pink Energy's bankruptcy. File a CFPB complaint against GoodLeap.

3. State contractor guaranty funds: Some states maintain contractor guaranty funds that can compensate homeowners when a licensed contractor goes out of business or fails to complete work. Check whether your state has such a fund and whether Pink Energy's bankruptcy qualifies. 4. Homeowner's insurance: If your system stopped functioning due to equipment failure, check whether your homeowner's insurance covers the loss. 5. State AG restitution: States like North Carolina and Ohio have taken legal action against Pink Energy. Some restitution programs may emerge from those proceedings. See the guide on what to do when your solar company goes out of business.

Getting Your Pink Energy System Fixed

To get a non-functioning Pink Energy system repaired, you'll need to hire an independent solar company to diagnose and repair the issues. Get multiple quotes. Check whether the repairs would be covered by equipment manufacturer warranties before paying out of pocket. Document everything — photographs, invoices, and descriptions of the problem — in case a state restitution fund or class action emerges that covers repair costs.

File complaints with your state AG, the BBB (now listing Pink Energy as out of business), and the CFPB if a loan is involved. Your state AG's consumer protection division may be tracking Pink Energy complaints as part of an ongoing investigation.
